Abstract

A data management system for a mobile device includes a communications module storing content created by a user of the system for delivery to a customer. A database module is connected to the communications module, matching customer data with user data and an identified geographic location of the customer in three-dimensional space to calculate a target customer for content delivery. A streaming module is connected to the database module which serves the content to the target customer. A priority module is connected to the streaming module for prioritizing the delivery of content to the target customer. The priority module determines an appropriate schedule for the delivery of the content to the target customer. The streaming module sends a notification to the mobile device that the content is available. The priority module receives, and authenticates with the database module, a first authorization by the target customer to deliver the content.

Claims

1. A data management system for a mobile device, comprising:

a communications module which stores content created by a user of the system for delivery to a customer;

a database module connected to the communications module which matches customer data with user data and an identified geographic location of the customer in three-dimensional space to calculate a target customer for delivery of the content;

a streaming module connected to the database module which serves the content to the target customer; and

a priority module connected to the streaming module for prioritizing the delivery of content to the target customer, the priority module determining an appropriate schedule for the delivery of the content to the target customer, wherein;

the streaming module sends a notification to the mobile device that the content is available,

the priority module receives, and authenticates with the database module, a first authorization by the target customer to deliver the content, and

the streaming module serves the content to the target customer based on the schedule generated by the priority module.

2. The data management system of claim 1, wherein the customer registers on the data management system to become authorized to receive the content.

3. The data management system of claim 1, wherein the content further includes video, audio, sounds, vibrations, or a combination thereof.

4. The data management system of claim 1, wherein the priority module receives, and authenticates with the database module, a second authorization by the target customer to deliver matched content.

5. The data management system of claim 4, wherein the matched content is selected to correspond with the content and scheduled by the priority module to sequentially follow the delivery of content upon the second authorization by the target customer.

6. The data management system of claim 1, wherein the notification is compatible with a short-message-service (SMS) protocol.

7. The data management system of claim 3, wherein the content is transmitted to the mobile device via a wireless transmission protocol.

8. The data management system of claim 1, wherein the identified geographic location of the customer in three-dimensional space is provided using global positioning system (GPS) data supplied to the database module.

9. The data management system of claim 1, wherein the first authorization is recorded by the database module for statistical analysis.

10. The data management system of claim 1, wherein the first authorization further includes a PIN provided by the target customer.

11. The data management system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device further includes a laptop computer, personal desktop assistant (PDA) or cellular phone device.

12. A system for providing electronic content to a targeted mobile device, comprising:

a streaming module for sending a notification to the targeted mobile device that the electronic content is available;

a communications module connected to the streaming module for retrieving the content stored by a user of the system, the user having created the content; and

a priority module connected to the communications module for prioritizing the delivery of content to the targeted mobile device based in part upon a geographic location of the targeted mobile device, the priority module receiving and authenticating a first authorization sent by the targeted mobile device to deliver the content, wherein following the authentication of the first authorization, the streaming module serves the electronic content to the targeted mobile device.

13. The system of claim 12, further including a database module connected to the priority module which compares the first authorization to a stored authorization to provide authenticity of the authorization.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the geographic location of the targeted mobile device is provided using global positioning system (GPS) data supplied to the system.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the electronic content further includes video, audio, sounds, vibrations, or a combination thereof.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the priority module receives and authenticates a second authorization sent by the targeted mobile device to deliver matched content.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the matched content is selected to correspond with the content and scheduled by the priority module to sequentially follow the delivery of content upon the second authorization by the targeted mobile device.

18. The system of claim 12, wherein the notification is compatible with a short-message-service (SMS) protocol.

19. A method of delivering electronic content to a mobile device, comprising:

determining a geographical location of the mobile device in three-dimensional space at a point in time;

aggregating the geographical location of a plurality of mobile devices;

matching the aggregated geographical locations with secondary data to identify a target mobile device;

sending a notification to the target mobile device that the electronic content is available;

authenticating a first authorization from the mobile device to deliver the content; and

delivering the electronic content to the mobile device.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein determining a geographical location of the mobile device is calculated using global positioning system (GPS) data.

21. The method of claim 19, further including authenticating a second authorization from the mobile device to deliver matched content.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the matched content is selected to correspond with the content and scheduled by the priority module to sequentially follow the delivery of content upon the second authorization by the mobile device.

23. The method of claim 19, wherein the notification is compatible with a short-message service (SMS) protocol.

24. A method of manufacturing a data management system for a mobile device, comprising:

providing a communications module which stores content created by a user of the system for delivery to a customer;

providing a database module connected to the communications module which matches customer data with user data and an identified geographic location of the customer in three-dimensional space to calculate a target customer for delivery of the content;

providing a streaming module connected to the database module which serves the content to the target customer; and

providing a priority module connected to the streaming module for prioritizing the delivery of content to the target customer, the priority module determining an appropriate schedule for the delivery of the content to the target customer, wherein;

the streaming module sends a notification to the mobile device that the content is available,

the priority module receives, and authenticates with the database module, a first authorization by the target customer to deliver the content, and

the streaming module serves the content to the target customer based on the schedule generated by the priority module.

25. The data management system of claim 24, wherein the content further includes video, audio, sounds, vibrations, or a combination thereof.

26. The method of manufacture of claim 24, wherein the priority module receives, and authenticates with the database module, a second authorization by the target customer to deliver matched content.

27. The method of manufacture of claim 26, wherein the matched content is selected to correspond with the content and scheduled by the priority module to sequentially follow the delivery of content upon the second authorization by the target customer.

28. The method of manufacture of claim 24, wherein the notification is compatible with a short-message-service (SMS) protocol.
